We’ll ease into the day with a warm welcome and time to catch up with colleagues old and new over coffee from 9:30am — the perfect moment to settle in, share updates, and start the conversations that matter. As the clock approaches 10:00am, we’ll gather to begin the session at the ever‑welcoming Willowbrook Living Well, setting the tone for a morning of shared learning, sector insights, and collective ambition. Whether you’re a seasoned leader, a new volunteer, or somewhere in between, this forum offers a friendly, open space to connect, contribute, and feel part of something bigger.
